Pondok Masa Depan

This was phenomenal experience to be in this blessed place. I mean it.

Ayu and Bagus are really nice, we felt during our stay that we were as part of the family ! The place is a haven of peace close to Sidemen, with individual rooms in little houses inside a beautiful and peaceful garden. We warmly recommend to live the experience in Sidemen here ! It's perfect to recharge your batteries. We discovered a lot of the Balinese culture, they love to share it : we did the cooking class with Bagus, the suska massage, Balinese astrology reading and reflexology with Ayu. We also did a yoga class with their daughter. And Bagus restaurant is very good ! All along the stay, they made everything to make us feel comfortable. On top of that, their dog is the cutest and the more friendly dog you will met, we loved to see him around. For sure, if we come back to Sidemen, we will come to visit you again !!

From the moment we arrived at Pondok Masa Depan we felt at home - the hosts (owners) Ayu and Bagus were so welcoming and generous spirited. I enjoyed a morning cooking course with Bagus, learning a few delicious Indonesian classics, and our stay was relaxing in the tranquility of this restful haven.

We spent two nights in this lovely place. Ayu and Bagus made our experience extraordinary. The Pondol Masa Depan is located in peaceful nature - but without any mosquitos. The bungalows are very comfortable and are equipped with a few thoughtful details. We enjoyed very enjoyable massages, foot reflexology, cooking class with Bagus and his delicious cuisine. Moreover, we experienced a beautiful praying ceremony in the morning with Ayu. To discover Sidemen including the waterfalls, the golden bridge and rice fields, we rented a scooter. Additionally, we hiked Mount Agung, which was an exciting experience.

Nothing!

Ayu and Bagus are amazingly hospitable and wonderful hosts. They make you feel right and home and have great recommendations about the surrounding area. Bagus is an excellent chef and literally everything I ordered off the menu was incredibly delicious. They also have the cutest dog, who is super affectionate, well behaved and will make you feel right at home!

This perfect little guesthouse is nestled in the rainforest and run by a lovely couple who are keen to organise trekking, massages and other activities. All the ones we did were perfect. the hospitality was warm, and they were only too happy to organise motorbikes, treks, drivers and lots of other things for us (including a blessing and offering ceremony with a local priest). Overall we felt like we had a very unique insight into Balinese life, facilitated by wonderful hosts. It is very good value for money, and the home cooked food is delicious. overall it’s a great place if you want to be sure of a good night sleep, full stomach, and easy access to good activities in the area.

Ayu and Bagus really take care of you: Bagus is a great cook and trekking guide, and Ayu does great massages. Their dog Irang immediately is your friend.

Such a peaceful sanctuary, absolutely wonderful, in every aspect.

Words wont do justice the experience I have had in Pondok Masa Depan. There are these places that you know will forever stay in your heart, for me this was one of them! I have stayed for two nights and my stay was absolutely amazing. I felt so welcome. During my stay I have experienced an authentic Bali. Already by being within this kindhearted family; but also thanks to the experiences I had in creating the offer and the offering in the temple, with the healing water purification, the trip through the rice fields with Bagus and their amazing dog and the massage of Ayu. On top of that, Bagus is a professional in the kitchen. During my stay I enjoyed all my meals in the Bagus restaurant. The dished are true soul food. Simply amazing. Sad I had to leave, but incredibly happy I encountered this authentic healing piece of earth in Bali!

beautiful accomodations, lovely people and a great dog!
